“Listening between the Lines” is a concert evening that undertakes a journey through the history of electro-acoustic music. The milestones along the way are musique concrete, Dada, concrete poetry, electronic music and works by contemporary digital composers. Featured pieces include an interpretation of a part of Kurt Schwitter’s “Ursonate” and videos of readings by Ernst Jandl as well as compositions by such pioneers of radio art and electronic music as Herbert Eimert, Pierre Boulez and György Ligeti.
“Listening between the Lines” is a further step in an ongoing collaboration between Brucknerhaus Linz and Ars Electronica that attempts to create new experimental fusions between music and visual art.
